"Otherwise, what? Just ignore the situation and let you suffer from your injuries and illness? Am I that heartless?" Yu Longting's fingertips rested on the clasp of the cheongsam, gently fiddling with it, "Wanwan, protecting you is my instinct. My body has been well taken care of by you recently, so spending a bit of Cultivation is no problem."
"Really? Have you cultivated a new inner core yet? Ah?" I became excited, and my eyes shone as I looked at him.
His eyes momentarily darkened, intertwining like raging flames, "I've formed a small one, Wanwan. You've given a lot, I can feel it."
"I'll work even harder, practicing the incantations you gave me every evening, and helping more people in need so that you can recover faster and form a larger inner core!" I looked at him earnestly, feeling a swell of heat in my chest and my blood boiling as I saw him recover bit by bit.
Yu Longting's face was filled with emotion, "Wanwan, isn't this what liking someone is? Offering yourself to me, taking care of me—many loving couples can't even do that."
"Give me a little more time, I want… to be a little more certain before I tell you, okay?" I blinked at him coyly, playfully bargaining for myself.
Yu Longting mulled over my words, "A little more certain…? Does that mean you think you might like me, but you're not sure??"
"Hehehe… if that's how you want to interpret it, sure…" I chuckled dryly at him, masking a hint of bitterness in my heart.
Yu Longting narrowed his eyes, "Tell me, how long do you need?"
"Well, I can't give you a precise timeframe right now… Hey, my buttons… don't undo them…" The buttons of my cheongsam were like the strings of an instrument under Yu Longting's fingertips, easily undone one by one.
Suddenly, the lapels of my dress fell open like petals.
I hurriedly pulled the dress up, frantically covering my body.
Yu Longting's cool lips came close, lightly kissing my lips, teasing me with a deliberate, casual aloofness, "Wanwan, you've come all the way to B city, aren't you willing to give yourself to me? Is it because of that other man? Didn't you say he's not as good as me? Hm?"
"It's not that I'm refusing you, don't be so sensitive," I said. For original chapters go to novᴇlfire.net
I saw the insecurity deep in his eyes, disregarded my own neckline, wrapped my arms around him, flipped him over, took the initiative, and kissed him back, "I'm all dirty from messing around in an old warehouse! You're so clean-loving, didn't you feel the spider webs in my hair?"
"I did feel them, and I don't mind. Wanwan, even if you were tossed in the mud or a dung pit, I would still be attracted to you!"
Yu Longting hooked his lip up at the corner and pressed on my head, kissing me forcefully.
I suddenly felt overwhelmed, all sense of mood and romance lost, "What's this nonsense about falling in mud? Or a dung pit? Why would I fall into such places when I am perfectly fine?"
My goodness, I was so hungry when I woke up, but now I've completely lost my appetite.
"To prove I don't dislike you, I could throw you in," Yu Rongling said with a mischievous chuckle, seeming very happy and wicked.
Seeing him finally laugh, no longer acting so jealous, I touched my slightly swollen lips, feeling it wasn't in vain to have been nibbled by him, "You must be a masochist, so obsessed with cleanliness yet want to throw me into a dung pit to disgust yourself. Isn't it still true love if we both bathe and stay clean together?"
